Description

The color and texture juxtaposition of travertine, chrome and perspex lucite makes this italian “Serpente” table lamp by Elio Martinelli for Martinelli Luce typically mid-century modern, as the period was known for championing pieces that mixed unexpected materials together for an often striking, wholly original result. This modern-looking lamp would make a perfect addition to a contemporary or mid-century desk or, for a cohesive design look, would be stunning atop a chrome console table.
